Foxgloves and Teddy Bears
While puttering in my garden yesterday pulling weeds and deadheading flowers I noticed a Foxglove that I don't remember having last year. It appears to be a cross between the purple one and the white resulting in a white with a purple/red speckled inside. The Foxgloves are almost done, sadly, because every year I enjoy them wherever they pop up. And some years they pop up almost everywhere!
You know how fond I am of my Teddy bears. This particular one is enjoying a tea party with blueberries that we picked earlier this week. We've frozen some, shared some, and eaten a LOT. This is all that's left. Next week we must go pick more.
Hope you are having a peaceful and pleasant day.
Thanks for visiting.

I am sad when the foxgloves go away too. It's all too fast this year.
ReplyDeleteCute little tea set! Your new color foxglove is so pretty! I don't have any because I think they are poisonous to dogs and you know how my dog is! Nancy
ReplyDeleteI like Foxgloves too, I used to have some but they die out in our cold winters. They are so delicate:)

Your foxgloves are very pretty! Can't wait for blueberry season to start here.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had much luck with foxgloves, but I think they are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI'm smiling at your teddy bear photo. Now that is one lucky bear to be eating freshly picked blueberries. I can't help but wonder what he is reading?
I love foxgloves, such beautiful colours. Wonderful tea party.

I think foxgloves are so pretty, but we don't have the climate for them. Enjoy, everything looks beautiful :)
